The UCI's License Commission has delayed its decision on who will obtain the ProTour spot left by the withdrawal of Team Phonak. Barloworld, Unibet and Astana are all vying for the spot. "The UCI keeps pushing the deadline away. Now they have put it off until next week. If we don't get a ProTour license, we'll ride as a Professional Continental team," Astana director sportif Walter Godefroot told the German press agency dpa. "I don't think that the organizers of the big races will exclude us."
